Arrowhead's CEO was on Twitter explicitly telling people to refund and leave negative reviews, as that customer feedback gives them more leverage to negotiate with when discussing reverting the unpopular change. But nice "what about the children".
Yeah, modern ultra soft and thin merino wool garments wear out quickly, but even the old fashioned scratchy stuff doesn’t hold a candle to polar fleece. I’ve literally never seen a polar fleece jacket wear out, if they can handle many years of rough outdoors use by high energy toddler boys, they’d last hundreds of years of typical adult use.

As a sailor, I’ve also seen the mind blowing chafe/wear resistance of polyester/dacron. Dacron sails and sheets (ropes) almost never fail from chafe. No natural fiber has that kind of chafe resistance.

I love wool and hate the feel of polyester stuff, but durability isn’t one of polyesters weaknesses.
Externalities are a separate thing. They have a cost, but internalizing them also has a cost in overhead and enforcement etc. For large externalities that's worth it, for small and diffuse ones it often isn't because the cure is worse than the disease. It does you no good to spend $100 to prevent $50 in harm.

I’ve heard that explanation a few times but I find it very hard to believe that's the primary reason. I can't imagine Costco would devote two workers full-time to that -- it’s simply against their lean philosophy.

That's the second reason I find the practice so irksome: on top of requiring customers to wait in line to prove their innocence, they pretend that the practice is for their customers' benefit. And people believe them!? Maddening.
The biggest issue with touchscreen is that the tech they are using is likely going to disappear in a few years at best, and getting replacement parts is going to be a mess.

Fun fact, Olkiluoto's EPR and Flamanville, the upcoming French power plant, must use 4/3 screens because all the GUI stuff where design for this kind of display, but in the retail market such a screen format has long been replaced and now they are already struggling to get spare parts.
what an hour should cost…

in my experience this is based on nothing and might be based on what HR thinks which is irrelevant
> for many, many companies the cost of hiring people to manage all this infrastructure and services is usually way more than a well-managed cloud project.

Yea, this is the line that everyone uses. I've worked at these companies, and the reality just doesn't line up with that. You end up still needing your whole Ops team, they're just building cloud tooling instead of on-prem tooling.

As to whether or not the migration away is happening...major cloud providers are already seeing people leave, and profits starting to contract. It's very early. Like I said in the original post, it took us a long time to wind up the cloud and it's going to take a long time to come back to reality.

Something roughly cloud-shaped will probably always remain..there are some legit use cases especially for companies that have spiky load profiles. I don't mean we're literally going back to running servers out of our IT closets. I just mean that as a whole we're going to be moving back to simpler deployments, simpler architectures, and most importantly, fixed/predictable costs.
Apple Reportedly Building M2 Ultra and M4-Powered AI Servers
> It seems like AWS' entire business model is making the pricing so confusing that you don't know what it will cost until after you've used it.

Maybe I'm naive, but I don't think that's intentional. I think it's just a byproduct of trying to build something that works for everyone and every use case.

As you make your target market bigger and bigger, you continually hit edge case after edge case that you try and solve with "just one more" rule or option. Eventually the system becomes so complex that no layman can understand it.
Seems like it does for walking/running/cycling, they appear as icons on various graphs X (well, T, for time) axes... but there's no way to turn it into an actual activity after the fact.

Might have to do with the fact that during an activity it's actively tracking, full sensors blaring (notably HR) whereas otherwise it's lazier to save battery.

Still, I agree it'd be nice to have the option to either auto-create after the fact, or auto-start (and stop) live, or both.

isn't the whole idea of docker compose that it's supposed to be single machine, though?

How likely do you think the introduction of a nodes primitive is given this?

I can see it if it were a strict opt in addition but it feels like it also fundamentally expands the scope of what the tool is.
I used to be against apps and gadgets that attempt to replace paper, but that changed when I started using Remarkable. Although it requires charging, is heavier than paper, and takes about 10 seconds to boot up, its ability to undo actions and seamlessly screencast with my coworkers more than compensates for these drawbacks.
Productivity software for myself:

I have added an undocumented option (--ical URL) to my script `mai3bar` that by default displays CPU, RAM and HDD usage alongside a wall time clock. When the `--ical` parameter is added, it detects whether there is an appointment within the same working day and counts down the minutes to it. Once the event is 15min away, it turns yellow and then red at 5min to go. This way, I can attend the events without having any distracting prior ”notifications”. Just occasionally glance the colors in the status bar... <https://masysma.net/32/i3bar.xhtml>.

Another productivity measure was to write down many of the “vector workflow” commands that I use to pre and postprocess various graphics, including making aliases for hard-to-remember syntax of commands (rsvg-convert ... -> svg2pdf here: <https://github.com/m7a/lp-conf-cli/blob/master/svg2pdf>). The vector graphics stuff is collected in a long, searchable document here: <https://masysma.net/37/vector_workflow.xhtml>.

My start page “Information and Links” helps me to quickly access the accurate and applicable documentation for some programming environments that I work with and allows keeping a list of links in the same UI <https://masysma.net/32/ial.xhtml>. Complete with VI-inspired key bindings :)
It is the database I am most comfortable with, if this project were to ever blow up (which I highly doubt) I would want to add support for other databases.
So this leads down to some interesting consequences.

If everything is determined by biology, and biology is determined by chemistry, and chemistry is determined by physics (quantum or classical). The next question is: "from where does 'choice' come from? if the sum of each part contains none to begin with, how can it emerge without 'proto-choice properties'?"

The conclusion from this view must be one of two:

1) That 'choice' is an unfounded axiom, an illusion of subjective qualities that we misinterpret as our 'will'.

2) Though if we do have 'will', and ability to exert control via choice, and not be controlled by physically determined processes... perhaps that is this notion of 'chance/random' which we seem to have to deal with.

A consequence of point 2 is that if that is our ability to choose, how can we choose better than the baseline 'random' as we apparently do?
If your point of view is that you value the ability to execute code from random places on the internet more than security, perhaps that is the point you should have been making from the start.

However, iOS makes the security trade off in the other direction.

All an app's executable code must go through the app vetting process, and additional executable code cannot be added to the app without the app going through the app vetting process all over again.

In contrast, Google has been unable to quash malware like Joker from inside the Play store because the malware gets downloaded and installed after the app makes it through the app vetting process and lands on a user's device.

> Known as Joker, this family of malicious apps has been attacking Android users since late 2016 and more recently has become one of the most common Android threats...

One of the keys to Joker’s success is its roundabout attack. The apps are knockoffs of legitimate apps and, when downloaded from Play or a different market, contain no malicious code other than a “dropper.” After a delay of hours or even days, the dropper, which is heavily obfuscated and contains just a few lines of code, downloads a malicious component and drops it into the app.

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/09/joker...

iOS not having constant issues with malware like Joker inside their app store has nothing to do with "security through obscurity" and everything to do with making a different set of trade offs when setting up the security model.
Maybe an LLM helped with the math?
> Given hyperscaler dominance of the overall public cloud market, which demands vast investments in infrastructure and range of services that make little or no revenue, challengers like CoreWeave have an opportunity to succeed with a focus on premium AI services without the burden of hypercaler-level investments overall

Interesting. GPU-only providers targeting the AI market only need to implement a fraction of the services that AWS does. They don't even need to be geographically distributed. What does it matter if your GPU cluster is on the other side of the planet?
Web 4 is censorship & government propaganda.
I think the next increment from 100k would be to seriously consider a different language.
The show Clarkson's Farm on Amazon shows some sheep farming. It looks absolutely humane. Sheep grow wool, get sheared when it gets too hot. The sheep are not killed in the process. If you are worried about also tangentially supporting meat, I am sure there are some no kill wool farms that do not sell their lambs or sheep for slaughter.
afaik ring signatures can do this also.
To have cheaper GPUs we need at least four companies to design them and four companies that are able to produce them. Before that you always have cartel like behavior.
Hey GM: If You Want to Beat Apple, Give People the Buttons CarPlay Can't
It’s a bit of a blackout when I try to recall it, haha. I should figure it out and write it up.

If it’s useful: As far as I can recall it involved simply changing the font family to match, i.e. “Dovesfell”, and then exporting the regular and the italic. The OS font system then figures out that they
belong together.

The scale is slightly different and the linespacing too. Did like a 90% rescale on one and 95% on the other? And then there was something to change in the Metrics window to make the linespacing identical.
Yes, my (probably somewhat poor) understanding is that Israel actions over the past years tended to favor Hamas and weaken PA. From declarations I read in the press I can imagine how some people are happy that peace doesn't happen so they can justify eradicating the Gaza inconvenience.
I am p sure that not too long ago the EU Commission put out a statement regarding Metas "Consent or Pay" and it not being allow and "privacy isn't something you should need to pay for". So I don't think its legal, but I also didn't look too much into it other than some headlines.
Snail-Inspired Robotic Swarms
You don't have to iterate twice, you don't have to use more storage other than a constant number of bytes chosen to fit in L1 along with lots of other stuff, and any system of "iterating over UTF-8 codepoints directly" has to spend many bytes on each of them anyway (For example an index into a byte array occupies multiple bytes and the minimum amount of storage to hold an arbitrary codepoint is also multiple bytes). So each part of your comment is either incorrect or applies to all possible implementations that meet the requirements. You also haven't proposed any particular meaning for "iterating over UTF-8 codepoints directly," but this is probably for the best, since it is someone else's requirement.
May I ask who your provider is?
It is definitely not production ready, at this time.
Is this a transition period for the industry? Are people now only buying based on it being the car they need vs the idea of the car they want? Electric is clearly the now. It is practical and competitive and getting better by the day so maybe it isn't special anymore and maybe the Tesla brand premium is falling because of that. I know that I for one haven't bought one for two big reasons:

1) I haven't bought a new car in my life. I always buy used. Electric and used don't normally go together, especially with the 'your car is a subscription' model.
2) The trend of connected cars and 0 privacy is keeping me from purchasing anything connected. Is this a significant factor for others too?

These two reasons aren't specific to Tesla, but my impression is that they are worse for Tesla than other car makers.

Was this even written by a human? The connections and misconnections seem like they could only have been made by some dozey AI. Physical notepads, and Notepad, the old Windows stalwart. It seems very sus. Now ask would using Crystals make you a better developer? Juxtapose some new-age thinking about the harmony of lattice structures with a Ruby derived language. Could be a fun read.

You mean Tailscale generates a hidden master key to which all traffic is encrypted?

This would be a joke back door!

Any link to discussions around this?
That isn't true.

The marketplace valuation is just where individual suppliers' and demanders' valuations cross.

The individual valuations are the foundational reality, or the market wouldn't work.

Every time you buy, sell, or decline to sell or buy something, you are operating based on your own valuation. So there is nothing theoretical about it.

The D language compiler uses a technique I call "poisoning" which has greatly reduced cascading error messages. The idea is whenever an error is found in an AST node, the AST node is replaced with an "error" node. Any combination of an error node with another node is replaced with an error node. Error messages for error nodes are suppressed.

It works far better than attempting to repair the AST into some plausible state.

It's analogous to the propagation of NaN values in floating point code.
It’s funny that you mention this. The most helpful research papers I’ve read have been written by private companies. Here’s a couple off the top of my head[0][1]. Short and straight to the point.

How does that have anything to do with what I was saying? The internal energy (per unit mass) of the compressed air at given conditions is not a function of how those conditions were reached.
@ Core-weave an A100 40GB NVLink is $2.06 ... the only way they are doing this is by burning investor money. At that price it running it 24/7 it will take way over a year to recoup hardware + electricity cost.

So my suggestion.. dump all your work @ Core-weave.. It's cheaper than buying the hardware yourself let alone the cost of managing it.
I think most people forget that most metrics are easy to hack and all metrics are hackable (yes, even if you use math & science). So the only rational thing to do is be aware and acknowledge the limitations of your metric and be open about that and what context they operate under. If you aren't aware of the underlying assumptions, your metric is borderline useless. It's like the old saying "there's two types of code: those with bugs and those that no one uses." All systems are buggy and if you aren't looking for them you'll get bit.

And in great irony, it is why metrics are the downfall of any meritocracy.
> Call me overly optimistic, but I believe that if we can literally automate ourselves out of the whole profession, I it would leave us with the more interesting problems, even if they're just about "what to do with our time, now that all of our basic needs are taken care of by automation".

Haven't we been promised this for literally a century? We don't even have a four-day workweek.
I see, yes controlling at 2 Hz will not be easy no matter how you slice it. What's preventing you from doing more? At one point I experimented with mine. I think below 5 Hz things got choppy. Greater than 10 didn't do a whole lot.

For reference, Arduplane (RC plane OS/autopilot/etc) uses 50 Hz for defaults - https://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/parameters.html#sched-loop-..., and quite a bit higher for copter (at least 400 Hz).

I'd be interested to know how your autopilot reacts with just the P & I portions. Everything I've read/learned about PID loops say to incorporate each term sequentially, meaning do P first, then introduce I to correct long term error, and finally introduce D to prevent overshoot. Not many use only P & D.

I think most of the philosophers Dennett is engaging with aren't suggesting that the mind is magical or mystical, but simply that subjective phenomena (thoughts, perceptions, etc) cannot be fully explained in exclusively physical terms. To give a popular argument, you can imagine a scenario where somebody has completed a perfect and complete explanation of the physical processes of human color perception. Would this explanation grant a reader who had never seen color an understanding of what it is actually like to see the color red? The argument goes that if you can't explain something in purely physical terms, then that thing isn't purely physical in nature.

Just because something isn't physical doesn't mean that it is mystical or magical; it is just a different kind of Stuff. The idea that only physical things exist is intuitively pretty compelling to me, but I've found arguments to the contrary to be much more convincing.
This is normal website monitoring. There are a billion services that do this. The cloud providers have them. I use Oh Dear.

Something that can happen is that your alerting system stops working. I wrote alertmanager-status to bridge Alertmanager to these website uptime checkers: https://github.com/jrockway/alertmanager-status Basically, Alertmanager gives it a fake alert every so often. If that arrives, then alertmanager-status reports healthy to your website upness checker. If it doesn't arrive in a given time window, then that reports unhealthy, and you'll get an alert that alerts don't work. I use this for my personal stuff and at work and ... Alertmanager has never broken, so it was a waste of time to write ;)
Governments uses corporations to get around their constitution. These private entities in turn use the government to get around regulation. They work very closely together to achieve their goals.
The problem with this thinking is that you are creating dissatisfaction for 25 cents.

Let's say, you sell your software as a single-version perpetual license. You sell it for 150$. A typical user uses it 8 hours a month. After a year, that's 96 hours. So they spend less than 2$ per hour (I'm rounding in the seller's favor.) So using it for 5 minutes, 1/12h, is less than 25 cents. (Again rounding up in the seller's favor.)

Is this about not giving away 25 cents?

This is where SaaS wins over, but even there, the overhead, both for sellers and users, of managing payment for people who want to do one-shot work is never going to be worth it.
I like tesla, but tesla is not your friend in this respect.

Just look back to the data tesla disclosed about its customers when they disagreed with them.

In the model x accident on 101 in mountain view caliornia, they disclosed in a vague way that the customer had ignored the car's warnings before the accident.

so... the critical safety event... they disclosed publicly through the press.

It's true, as exemplified by a scratched bike.

Still, it happens, and the designer of the infrastructure must be aware of that.

To take the devil's advocate role, people will keep traveling long after they exhausted their ability to pay attention, and/or keep reasonable distance from the next one in the front.
Dang, that is a fantastic deal. The €100 / month is even better - DDR5 RAM, 2TB NVME raid 1, and it's all customizable too. Just have to wait for Ubuntu 24.04 to be available and might have to make this switch.
That's definitely a strange ideal, to put it politely. Human welfare should be maximized instead.
